Ukraine Conflict
Not sure what's wrong with it. Was it in the agreement that Ukraine will not build up their defenses? Would be pretty stupid if that's the case.

Cinema and Movie Thread: I like to remember things my own way.
Watched Guillermo del Toros Pinocchio yesterday. Was not bad, looked nice, but isn't a movie that I would watch again. Didn't really like any of the singing songs, but the war background was a kinda nice touch. Probably doesn't help that I'm not all that much into the Pinocchio story.

Ukraine Conflict
I watched his talk, he says it will be a "Menschheitsaufgabe" - a task for humanity is a correct translation, though to me it feels a bit overblown in english. Could probably also translate it as "task for all of mankind" but idk. It's a single sentence in a 20 minutes talk, and before a few months ago they tried to avoid the topic as much as possible, so I wouldn't give much weight to it. I guess they just gave in because they got criticized hard for not doing anything and now they double down on the support. At least in public. However, keep in mind that he also said that talk with russia could resume if they end the war. So basically if russia would retreat now and completely leave ukraine, we would be inclined to act as if nothing ever happened.

If this is how they treat their own people, imagine how they are treating the immigrants that are being forced into the military right now.

Random video game news... RNG 4 EVA
Maybe you got lucky, or built-in teleport spell for sorceress makes it naturally easier since you can easily avoid bad situations (never really played sorc, so dunno). My amazon had a terrible time in act3 due to all the lightning res mobs, and similar issues in every other situation with lightning immunities. The situation changed once I got my hands on gear that would break immunity, etc. but it was a long way (not very long in mp, since I was able to trade runes for gear).

The thing with D2 is that if you want to play through Hell difficulty, you have no choice but to - grind like a mofo for special items, which can take you hundreds of hours... maybe your luck is so bad that good stuff never drops, or - you play online and trade with other players. The furthest I was able to advance my character (level 97) was in online mode, since I was able to get good gear that allowed me to survive in Hell difficulty. My sp character that I started first was never able to get out of that hole.

New Scientific Discoveries, Part Vier
I also wish them to succeed, but news like this are posted so often now, the pessimist in me can't take them serious anymore.

Sometimes it feels to me as if Germany is the only country that self-reflected and tried to change itself after ww2. Kinda curious why that is.

Anime and Manga - It's time for you to finish what you've started and watch JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stardust Crusaders
Watched Usagi Drop yesterday. That was a nice, down to earth anime, without any of the usual cringe bs. Shame there are only 11 episodes, I really wouldn't mind more of this.

But only if the pet is the size of a small puppet and floats right behind your character at all times.

New Scientific Discoveries, Part Vier
I bought a water filter a couple months ago. It's connected to the faucet and acts like a switch with a small lever. The water is re-routed through the filter and comes back through another, smaller faucet. It's great, didn't regret buying that.

What are you Playing Now? It's not how you play the game, it's how you place the blame
Playing some Elden Ring again rigth now. I remembered an interesting observation ... back in thy olden days, I was a heavy shield user. My whole playstyle was about holding up a 100% defense shield, striking only after the enemy did his thing. Then Bloodborne came around, and since there are no shields, I had to completely change my playstyle. Now in Elden Ring ... I still don't use shields. In fact, I completely forget about them in most fights. Bloodborne taught me a more aggressive attack stance, and I can't shake that off anymore.

Just wanted to say that looks exactly like Payday. Like, I can't tell any difference from that video.

I haven't finished the DLC yet, because Orphan of Kos is such a ****ing bitch, and I got really tired of grinding to buy more blood vials, but other than that it's great.

And we still don't have Bloodborne for PC... Sony can get bent until they stop ignoring the game.

The All Things Political Topic - Just because you do not take an interest in politics doesn't mean politics won't take an interest in you
I'm curious if they really actually planned a coup or if they just liked to talk about it. In any case, those people are absolute top of their class nutjobs. Everyone who ever had to deal with those Reichsbürger can attest to that. Worst is, their following gets bigger every year. Government agencies even have special instructions on how to handle them, because they are so delusional.

Ukraine Conflict
Still makes no sense to me. Like others said before, there could be at least some explosive warhead, not just nothing. Just jeeting missiles like that into ukraine feels weird.

Was this really Dio's idea tho? Still, hope they will continue with Steel Ball Run now, even though it's probably going to have no connections to anything at all(?).
